Thuchihbu 30
1 Jakeh chapa Agur thuseidoh ho hichea hi kiphong doh ahi. O Yahweh Pakai keima kachol in kalhasam lheh tai.
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Keima mihem khat hina angol-a kahi, chule mihem thil hetkhen themna bang in hetkhenna kainei tapoi.
Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;
3 Keiman chihna thucheng kaja kha hih laijin, mithengpa kiti jong kaphongdoh kha naipoi.
And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Elohim Pathen tailou koiham vanna kal touva hung kumsuh kit? Koiham akhut tum'a huituh theija? Koiham aponsil a twi chun thei? Koiham vannoi pumpi sem? Ama chu amin ipi ham chule achapa min ipiham? Nang in vang nahet chetset ahi.
Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest?
5 Elohim Pathen thucheng jouse hi adihsoh keijin, Ama henga kiselte ding in lim-in apang e.
Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
6 Elohim Pathen seidohsa thucheng belap hih hel in, achuti louva ahileh aman naphosal ding; mijou nahi lo ding ahi.
Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 O Yahweh Pakai thilni kangai chae, kathi kahsen hiche thilni hi nei-it peh hihbeh in.
Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me [them] not before I die:
8 Amasan jouthu kaseilouna dingin neipan pin, aninan vaichatna le haona neipe hih in; keima nehkhop bep ding in neivah jing tan.
Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:
9 Ajeh chu keima hung haobeh seh leng, “Yahweh Pakai chu koiham?” tia nangma douna thu kasei lo ding; vaicha behseh kit leng kaguchat lo kit ding, Elohim, ka Pathen mintheng kasuh thang bep ding ahi.
Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.
10 Soh chu apupa kom'a heh hih beh in, ajeh chu aman nahin sapset a naje lo thei ahi.
Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
11 Mi kimkhat chu apute apate gaosap ngam jong aum in, hijeh chun apite anute chan geijin phatthei achang pouve.
There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother.
12 Amaho mitmu jenga theng kisa jong aum uvin, hinlah athen lounauva kon in khatcha angim deh pouve.
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.
13 Kimkhat machu amitmu uvin akichoi sang un, amit dang-chung uva chunglam ve jong aum un ahi.
There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
14 Amahon chemjam tobang ha hemtah anei jun, chule aha jouseu jong chemcha hemtah tobang ahin; leiset chunga vaichate bahgam ding angaito uvin, mihem lah'a neilalte bah gam din akigo uve.
There is a generation whose teeth are [as] swords, and their jaw teeth [as] knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 Vot'in nou ni anei jin, “Neipeh ben, neipeh ben,” ati lhon e. Chule chim louhel a thil thum aum in; thil in jong, “Alhingsel tai,” atideh pon ahi.
The horseleach hath two daughters, [crying], Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, [Yea], four that say not, Enough:
16 Noimigam achinga naobu ahin, leiset inla twi ducha jinga um, meika diuje jun la “Alhingsel tai,” atideh poi. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 Koi hileh apa mitche keh dan a, chule anu thua nung lou chu phaicham'a um va-ah ten akilo diu, mu-thong hon along aneh diu ahi.
The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Kei ding in thil thum hi datmah umtah ahin, chule kahet khen thei lou thil Li aum in ahi.
There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not:
19 Vanlaijol'a muvanlai lenna lampi, Songpi chunga gul kitholna lampi, Twikhanglen lailunga touna-kong kitolna lampi, chule pasal khat in nungah khat alungset jidan.
The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
20 Numei-jong chondan hi hiti ahi: an anen, amuh akitheh jol loijin, “Keiman thil dihlou ima kabolpoi,” tin aseije.
So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.
21 Thil thum hin leiset ahot-ling jin, thil Li vang leiset in athoh joupoi.
For three things the earth doth tremble, And for four, [which] it cannot bear:
22 Soh chu hung leng changa, chule mingol in a-oi vaset'a an anehji ahi.
For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
23 Min adeilou numei chun jiding pasal akimudoh jia, soh numei jin apinu akhel jiteng,
For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 Leiset chunga thilneo li aum in, hiche thil Li hohi achinga ching thei ahiuve.
There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:
25 Sihmi tehi mihem ahilou vang un ahat thei lheh jeng un, nipilai sung sen neh ding akikhol khom jiuvin ahi.
The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 Boi ho jong hi mihem banga hat ahipouvin, hinlah songpi lah jenga jong ko akivu jiuvin ahi.
The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 Khaokho ten jong leng aneipouvin, hinlah agol gol chan akitol jiuve.
The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 Daidep jong khu bailam tah'a nakhut a namat thei ahin, hiche jeng jong hi lengpa insunga cheng jing ahi.
The lizard taketh hold with her hands, Yet is she in kings’ palaces.
29 Thil thum phatah'a kijot del aum un, chule thil li jong chu akalseu akitoh del in ahi.
There are three things which are stately in their march, Yea, four which are stately in going:
30 Sa jouse lah'a keipi bahkai hi ahat pen ahin, imacha masanga anung chon ngaipoi.
The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
31 Ahpi lah ahiteng ahchal in agep lele ahin, kelchal ahin, kel-hon lamkaijin apang in, lengpan amite henga thu aseija ahin lamkaiji ahi.
The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
32 Nangma mingol nahia, nang le nang kichoi sanga nahim, thilphalou khattou nangaitoa ahileh nakhut in nakam kisip chah jeng in.
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, [Lay] thy hand upon thy mouth.
33 Ijeh-inem itileh bongnoi imeh leh bongnoi ha asodoh jin, chule nah hom isip sip teng thisan apotdoh jin, ilung ahan jinga ahileh kinahna jeng asohsah jin ahi.
For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
